I would suggest getting new bolts and washers for both the cooler and coolant bridge as I have just done this job on mine.

I managed to snap one of the new bolts that I got so just put an old one back in only to find that it is leaking straight away!  >:( >:( >:(

When I did the Estate fitted new oil cooler + plate + the two o-rings + 2x30mm nuts.  Used Vx sealant on plate.  Also fitted the 4 x seals to coolant bridge + the 4 seals on cooler pipes.  All other o-ring seals on manifolding, plenum etc re-used without problem (just greased em before refitting. ;)  No probs to date.
